The opening of the @rainbowpridefi1 launch of their “SOGIESC in climate change laws and regulations policies in Fiji” brief and roadmap was done by a classical dance which pays tribute to the land, air and earth (elements) 👏🏾🙌🏾 #Inclusion #Representation #Diversity #Fiji

#EarlyWarningsForAll is built around four key pillars. Early warning systems have proven to be an effective way to adapt to #ClimateChange by providing a cost-effective and reliable way of protecting lives and livelihoods from natural hazards.

Ancient human footprints found in New Mexico’s White Sands National Park tell an intimate story about what life was like during the Ice Age–and reveal surprising new evidence about when humans arrived in North America. 🧵⬇️

Up at 5am this morning to see four planets in a straight line- from the top, Saturn, Mars, (big bright) Venus and Jupiter. This sight has not been seen since AD 947, more than one thousand years ago / what might the sages have thought it portended? #myth #astronomy

1.5 vs 2C: What difference can a lousy half a degree of global warming make? https://t.co/mNtcbW30CD

Europe myths 4 (3/3): when #FinnMcCool lived on #Arran Island, he made a bridge from Drumadoon to Kintyre, another possible recollection of when people could cross between the two. https://t.co/8rVZEMAEM0 – if correct, this story is >10,000 years old.

#HillfortsWednesday #Fiji #Ba – (1/2) the building of rock mounds on the highest parts of Fiji hillforts seems a defining characteristic. Whether for defence or an expression of high status is uncertain. Here is Vatutaqiri mound (or Vatuvatuva / Four Stones) @FijiMuseum

[Patrick Nunn @PatrickNunn3]

#HillfortsWednesday #Fiji coastal #Ba – (2/2) Many rocks used to create the Vatutaqiri summit mound are >2m3 in mass. At least 80% of the rocks have been brought 200 m upslope “an extraordinary human enterprise” p 7 in https://t.co/eNbDz8knaZ @FijiMuseum

(3 of 3) Many of us who have excavated #middens will recognise his conchyliomania. #ClassicLiterature #Archaeology #Shells My longest midden relationship was with that at #Bourewa #Fiji photo below

This is a disastrous development for everyone concerned about the sustainability of Pacific Ocean marine resources https://t.co/uAO3U3Fb6R

I’ve been here!

#FolkloreThursday #Fiji while mapping #Bua hillforts (#HillfortsWednesday), Dalomo residents told about the underground passage between a coastal cave and the artificial pond atop Seseleka 420 m upslope. Such stories are memories of people’s connections or journeys. @FijiMuseum

[Patrick Nunn @PatrickNunn3]

#FolkloreThursday #Fiji people in #Lomaiviti told me there was an undersea connection between Naigani and Ovalau islands (photo), valid as an ancient interaction memory. By dismissing such stories, we reduce our understanding of human pasts https://t.co/llrRw4e6rD @FijiMuseum

#HillfortsWednesday #Fiji coastal #Ba – Vatutaqiri hillfort is approached along a narrow ridge; the first sign of landscape modification is the ditch (pictured) that once had had sharpened stakes in the bottom to impale attackers. Then the stone walls (one pictured) @FijiMuseum

[Patrick Nunn @PatrickNunn3]

#StandingStoneSunday #Fiji – at Soso (#Kadavu) there is a stone circle – never been there but here is a 20-yr old photo. Legends make connections with Soso (#Yasawa). #heritage @FijiMuseum

... but if you check out the website "Remarkable Honeymoons", well there is a photo of Malake labelled Makogai. #Fiji #PacificIslands see previous tweet

[Patrick Nunn @PatrickNunn3]

Thanks to everyone who sent me suggestions as to which island is named as "Makogai" in Australia's National Climate Resilience and Adaptation Strategy 2021-25. It is in #Fiji ... but is actually Malake Island in #Ra. Aerial photo below. But see next tweet ...
